TL;DR: This review proposes two main avenues to progress the understanding and prediction of the different processes occurring on the leading and trailing edge of the species' distribution in response to any global change phenomena and concludes with clear guidelines on how such modelling improvements will benefit conservation strategies in a changing world.

TL;DR: Biodiversity is not static in time or space but generated and maintained by natural processes, and humans are altering the planet in diverse ways at ever faster rates.

TL;DR: The effectiveness of protected areas and the Natura 2000 network in conserving a large proportion of European plant and terrestrial vertebrate species under climate change is assessed and the risk is high that ongoing efforts to conserve Europe's biodiversity are jeopardized by climate change.

TL;DR: In this paper, the ability of existing reserve-selection methods to secure species in a climate change context is assessed, for the first time, using European distributions of 1200 plant species and considering two extreme scenarios of response to climate change: no dispersal and universal dispersal.

TL;DR: This review critically assesses the variety of metrics commonly used to describe climate change in biodiversity-impact assessments covering local changes in climate averages and extremes, regional changes in the availability and position of climates, and the velocity of climate change.
